friends in high places

I woke up today and decided I had to do it. I had to take advantage of the people I know.

So, I made this:

I am not a designer so I do not have fancy programs for creating banners and things. I have an old dell, internet access and google; which directed me to a program called gimp. It was free. I ignored my conspiracy driven thoughts of what evil corrupted files I was putting into my computer and downloaded it. I have tape over my webcam so the 'people' of gimp can only spy via audio. No visual for you, gimp!

I am no genius but I figured out how to use it pretty quickly.

Then I sent an email to dear dear ohmyrockness and this happened:

It was that easy and that simple.

Why am I such a lazy ass? I'm sure I will get an email from gimp or someone a party to gimp with an answer. You're so creepy gimp. So creepy.

boo hoo

(this story is not about the van above but it is about a van)

In reading my local neighborhood blog, DitmasParkCorner, I read about this band that got their van stolen with all their gear in it.

Who leaves a van with over $15000 worth of stuff in it on the street? How is that safe even in your driveway in Safetown, USA? This is fucking New York City. My true, honest and first reaction. Idiots.

Being the dork I am, I had to see who this dumb band was. The DPC led me to their website. Which led me to their facebook. Which led me to their twits. Of course, many updates about their sad loss. All of their "friends" telling them how much that sucks. No one called them out on being complete numb nuts.

On their twitter page there was a link for their "video premiere."

Um ok. I like it.

This was a publicity stunt. Just like this Kim and Kanye shit. I'm convinced. I bet the traffic to all their sites have tripled. Now, I have perpetuated the bullshit that it could be. Or not. Maybe their van really was stolen. After all this hoopla they announced that they will be playing the GoogaMooga...you decide.

park day

We ended up sitting on a tree stump that was next to the field that ely james had mowed earlier. He also pointed out some of the homeless camps and the "outhouse" where park employees do drugs and have sex. Our tax dollars hard at work.

We enjoyed ourselves. Sweet Baby was crazy excited with all the wild things around. I kept him away from the swans cause they are just mean fuckers. Anyway, this is what our park day looked like:
